Duke of Edinburgh
award criteria
Growing up in today's industrializ-
3 edsociety is no easy task; young peo-
ple have fewer opportunities to excel
as individuals, and are often ill-
' equipped to handle the difficulties and
decisions they will face in a highly
competitive and aggressive business
world.
Learning self-worth, having fun and
becoming involved in the communi-
ty is what The- Duke of Edinburgh's
Award is all about. it teaches young
people about themselves; about
others, and show how big a difference
an -individual can make in his or her
life and the lives of others.
The Award Program is open to
anyone - able, disabled, disadvantag-
ed - between the ages of 14 and 25:
• With the guidance of an adult
volunteer, realistic challenges are set
and are then met through individual
effort. These in turn are rewarded by
three categories of awards: bronze
for those over 14. silver for those over
15 and gold for those over 16.
A participant must complete ac-
tivities in four areas: voluntary ser-
vice, skill. development; physical
recreation and expeditions. An in-
dividual can choose from a host of dif-
ferent activities recognized by the
Program to become eligible for an
award. Candidates are judged accor-
ding to their individual circumstances
and capabilities.
examples of successful Duke of
Edinburgh's Award achievers include
a young man who had never walked
without braces who qualified for a
bronze.award by walking around a
room, and earned a silver award by
walking 100 yards, and ultimately a
gold award by walking around a city
block. An 18 -year-old Ontario woman
included a 50 -mile, three-day hike
along the shoreline of Prince Edward
County as one of her qualifying ac-
tivities for a silver award.
The Duke of Edinburgh's Award
was introduced to Canada in 1963 and
since that time more than 100,000 in-
dividuals have participated in the
Program. The patron of the award is
His Royal Highness, Prince Philip,
The Duke of Edinburgh.

The town of Exeter has an unusual
mascot - the white -squirrel. People
dress up tike squirrels for parades
and fairs, and there is even a White
Squirrel restaurant.
Although introduced to the area a
few years ago. it is still a cause for
comment when one is spotted,
especially in contrast to the familiar
and abundant black or brown
varieties.
The inevitable has happened. Like
everyone and everything in the area,
the white squirrel has succumbed to
the beckoning call of Grand Bend.
One or more than one, it makes a
great game and great conversational
opener - 'Have you seen the white
squirrel'.'

Deaths down
over holiday
The Ontario Provincial Police are
pleased to report that the number of
traffic deaths duringthe holiday Vic-
toria Day weekend dropped substan-
tially when compared to.1986 and as
well the number of boating deaths
plummeted from seven in 1986 to one
this year.
Six persons were killed in traffic ac-
cidents on roadways patrolled by the
provincial police this year as com-
pared to nine in 1986.
"This is a significant reduction in
holiday traffic fatalities," said Depu
ty Commissioner Bob Rose. "We at-
tribute this, decline to an increased
public awareness of safety on the road
and waterways of Ontario and to in-
• creased enforcement by our officers
last weekend. In 1985. prior to Strict
Is Fair there were 18 traffic fatalities
during the three-day Victoria Day
weekend. •
We are pleased that this was one of
the safest -holiday long weekends on
record on Ontario's road and water-
ways," said Deputy Commissioner -
Rose. "Much of the credit for this
welcome change is due to the efforts
of the provincial media in getting the
message out to the public that safety
.is no accident."
According to Deputy Commissioner •
Rose the O.P.P.'s Strict Is Fair pro-
gram of increased enforcement will
continue throughout the summer.
